An Infinite Journey From the Sea of ​​Stones

Unknowingly, he seemed to separate himself from everyone else.

The grand fireworks blazed in the sky, and beautiful light and shadows were projected through the glass. Jess clenched his fists, ready to show off this brand new future of Piltover!

But at this moment, Yunjuan suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously to Mel next to him

"By the way, you said that Piltover suffered two terrorist attacks not long ago. One was the airport, and the other was..."

Mel didn't hide anything, and told Yunjuan everything that happened.That attack was less a terrorist attack than a simple murder.

One happened in Daijinluo Square, a factory owner was suddenly shot, and his flesh and blood bloomed like flowers.

If only one person died, they wouldn't have such a big reaction. The point is that the death of that person was too... gorgeous.

It didn't look like a simple murder at all, not even a simple murder, and the man who committed it clearly had a terrifying sense of humor and a strange aesthetic concept that couldn't be laughed at.

All that Mel explained made Yun Juan's expression a bit strange.

He doesn't know much about perverted murderers, or only one, and it just so happens that he is a fanatical pursuit of aesthetics and sense of ritual...

boom! ! ! !

Just when Jess is about to kick off the curtain and prepare to reveal his greatest invention to the public!

At the far end of the city, the roaring explosion spread along the broken sound waves to every direction of the city.

-

ps: happy new year!

34. Artist

Standing on the top of the old drunkard's bell tower, a man wearing a silver-white mask, covered in a white burqa, is dancing on the top of the tower with slender limbs.

Standing at the top of Shuangcheng, you can overlook the distant sea. At a height of more than 400 meters, it will turn into a puddle of meat the moment you fall.

But he still danced on the edge, the dance was chaotic but beautiful, like a dying swan dancing.Step on the narrow space of only [-] centimeters in total, and dance with your toes.

Suddenly, he stopped dancing, put his feet on a point on the top of the tower, and opened his hands, as if greeting the invisible audience.

His name is Kada Jhin and he is an artist.

While many ignorant critics would call him a lunatic, a murderer, and a killer, Jhin insists that he is an artist—and his critics are usually short-lived.

Ordinary artists will only sway their mediocre inspirations on the canvas, using simple brushes and paints or just a simple carving knife to show what they call art in their hearts.

Jhin dismisses all of this.

In his opinion, the art of these ordinary people is nothing more than the artistic garbage left by a group of stupid pigs who claim to be elegant with their sad fantasies. Whether it is realism, abstraction, or the most ridiculous formalism, in Jhin’s opinion It's all piles of unrecognizable garbage.

The art he pursues is not something that stays on top of something.The art Jhin pursues is not eternity, but instantaneous blooming.

Beauty should wither completely after a moment of blooming.Any art stuck in time will only go to inevitable decline under the corrosion of time.

Jhin can't tolerate the beauty of art he created going to ruin over a long period of time, it's a kind of humiliation to him.

So what kind of art is worthy of a great artist like him?

Is it an explosion?Like bright fireworks?Yes, the concept is close.

The beauty that Jhin pursues is the momentary beauty when life withers.

Different from the bloody and dirty birth, the passing of life brings with it the beauty that instantly fades away all the filth and filth in the mundane world. Jhin was deeply fascinated by this extreme beauty when he saw it for the first time.

Looking at the brightly lit city, Jhin's thoughts could not help but fly to the distance, and he began to recall the time when he first witnessed art.

The first time he witnessed such beauty was when Jhin was eight years old. He witnessed his current body falling from a cliff and turning into a flower of blood.

Jhin at that time had nothing to feel sad about, only ecstasy at discovering such a beautiful thing.

But death is not common, especially in the peaceful land of Ionia.Accidents may always happen, but they don't often appear in front of Jhin.

That being the case, create such a work of art yourself.

This is the reason why Jhin started killing people, an artist who pursues the beauty of art, a craftsman who carves gorgeous masterpieces!

This is his only position for himself, so he started killing people, delving into art, and just like every artist, he was always not satisfied with his own works.

Simple death can't satisfy Jhin's pursuit, he longs for a more brilliant beauty that blooms in life.

Just like painters always use various colors on their canvases, Jhin began to pursue more gorgeous art.

So he began to learn the techniques of art. He mastered martial arts, learned to use swords, and even understood the mysteries of magic.

He learned every single one of his skills incredibly quickly and would soon be revered as a master, but never indulged in any of them.Perhaps interest is the best teacher, and his only interest is to carve works of art with skill.

Then, he got the title of a golden devil.

For the peaceful Ionian people, they are unimaginably afraid of the existence of this kind of natural murderer, so even though Jhin is not a strong person, he still becomes the most terrifying in Ionia. legend.

Then, he was arrested by the last Kinkou Sect master, the Eye of Twilight.

Jhin is not a person who likes to dwell on the past, but the arrest really irritated him-but then he found an interesting place.

He thought he would die at the hands of those two young ninjas, but their master stopped them.What made Jhin most interesting was that he didn't find any anger or compassion in the eyes of this bitter talker.

He is not angry for his actions, nor does he have any tolerance or compassion.

He was just shown in front of his two disciples by Kushuo as a 'teaching case'. He didn't kill Jhin just because the Golden Demon was just an insignificant person. He didn't break the balance, so he wouldn't kill him either. he.

This made Jhin both amused and irritated, so every day he was in prison, he was thinking about how to get back at him after he got out of prison.

But maybe it was fate, or maybe it was a ridiculous irony.Jhin didn't stay in prison for too long. With the invasion and war of the Noxus, the people of Zhiyun Province devoted themselves to resisting the invasion of Noxus, but Jhin was very interestingly An official was released.

The only condition for them to let Jhin go free is to let Jhin fight for them.

Jhin readily accepted this, and he went out of his way to assassinate the Noxian invaders and commanders, as well as... some other Ionians, for these officials.

Even in a peaceful land, ugly power strife is unavoidable.Even in the face of a great enemy, people will never forget the joy of fighting with their companions.

Where there are people, there is always dirty politics. Jin, who is very interested in this, chooses to work for these officials even though he can get away with it.

until......

Until the day I met that man.

Jhin clearly remembers his sobriety that day. In the busy market, Jhin planned to let his target, a vastaya official, successfully kill himself with his chopsticks in full view. For this, he arranged a series of tricks. trap.

However, his perfect art and performance were disrupted by that intruding man, his name is Yun Juan, and he was also called Yun Zhongjun by others.

A saint, a merciful person praised by everyone, a kind of person that Jhin dislikes very much, and even wants to kill when he sees it.

He stopped Jhin's actions, and everything should have ended here.But he was entangled with Jhin, and whenever he started his own actions, he would be there and destroy Jhin's arrangement.

He nearly caught himself every time, but that was Jhin's usual trick.He is so good at escaping, even when he was hunted down by three people from the Kinkou Sect, he escaped like this time and time again to tease and torture those who chased him.

But once again, Jhin almost missed.Because Jhin saw his eyes, the pupils covered by the cloth scarf.

Lonely, indifferent, cold, desolate eyes that have witnessed countless deaths.It is completely different from his other eye, or even completely opposite, and it is also an eye that makes Jhin unable to restrain his fascination.

He was almost caught that time, but Jhin still seized the opportunity to initiate the escape plan.But before fleeing, he had a conversation with himself.

He said that he very much hopes to crush people like Jin to ashes, which is not unusual, 90.00% of the people that Jin has met will have such thoughts.

But he said that he can't kill Jhin now, he must be merciful.This made Jhin have a strong interest in him. Why does a person who is compassionate in action have such an eye that has witnessed countless deaths?

Jhin feels that he will have a lot of common language with him, but I have to say that this guy who is always preaching while destroying his artistic creation is really annoying!

Then, Jhin went back and killed his employer.The reason is simple, he is no longer interested in them, and his whereabouts have been leaked so many times, it only shows that one of those people must have betrayed him.

It doesn't matter who it is, and Jhin doesn't care. After turning them all into a ball of fireworks, Jhin disappeared into the vast crowd again.

And now, he's on his way to the Twin Cities.

Piltover, Zaun, two cities that are one but contradictory, up and down, rich and poor, advanced and backward, civilized and barbaric.

Although their so-called technology is rough and cold, Jhin is still fascinated by this city.Just like a painter has changed a painting location, everything here is extremely novel.

Moreover, Jhin quickly found an employer for himself, a man similar to his former employer, who was deeply involved in stupid political struggles.

The only difference is that Jhin saw in his heart the burning heart of fire, the heart longing for change and change.

Jhin likes enthusiastic people very much!Working with passionate people is always easy to inspire him more.

Jhin looked at the pocket watch in his hand, the ticking hour hand was advancing along the magic guide without missing a second.

In the last 30 seconds, the flower he placed under the banquet hall will bloom.

That is his newly researched artistic creation, a special plant seed he obtained from the Kumanggu jungle. After being heated and released, it will instantly expand to dozens of times its volume and bloom, and radiate a large number of seeds outward.

In less than 20 seconds, everyone in that banquet hall will bloom gorgeous flowers from the inside out!What a beauty, what a passion!

Standing here and being able to see every picture in the banquet hall, Jhin was sincerely moved by his artistic creation.

In this beautiful and silent night, witness the beautiful art created by yourself here.

But just as he was counting down, a vulgar and stupid explosion sounded suddenly, which made Jhin very stunned and disgusted.

Not far away, one after another buildings were completely destroyed by the chain reaction brought by the explosion, and the rising smoke and dust seemed so eye-catching in the dark night.

The expression under Jhin's mask turned sour, he immediately stopped the explosion of the artwork he had placed, and fell to the ground like a bat in the dark.

Today's art show had to be cancelled.

Jhin would never allow his great art to appear on a flawed night. "The law and order in your city is really good."

But when Yun Juan found four very conspicuous magical structures like blooming lotus flowers buried in the four corners of the banquet hall, he joked with a bit of viciousness

"You guys were able to provoke Ionia's number one killer!"

The things in Yunjuan's hands are very recognizable. Among the people he knows, Kada Jhin is the only boring person who can carve such exquisitely and complicatedly for a thing whose original mission is to explode.

To Yun Juan who couldn't appreciate his so-called art, Jin Mo was a boring bastard.

Yunjuan, who was in Ionia, was almost able to catch this cunning murderer like light smoke, but in the end he missed and let him run away.

If there was a chance, Yunjuan would definitely unscrew the Golden Demon's neck without hesitation, but if there was no chance, Yunjuan would not deliberately look for him.

That is not his responsibility and obligation.

But he didn't expect Jhin to come to Piltover at this time, although he did come to Piltover in a promotional CG that wasn't considered a plot - but it obviously shouldn't be this time.

Yunjuan guessed that it was the butterfly effect caused by his appearance, which made Jhin kill his employer a few years earlier, and finally went to sea to find fun elsewhere.

"What is this?" Lux asked curiously as she looked at the organ lotus in Yunjuan's hand

"This is a simple heating device. A plant seed is placed in it. When the magic imprint is activated, it will activate and heat the seed." Yunjuan threw the lotus to Lacus and said with a chuckle

"But that is the seed of an interesting plant. Its scientific name is Staggered Echinacea. It is a dangerous plant that grows in the Kumangu jungle. Its seeds will parasitize in the body of animals and activate the host after entering the body of the creature. The body temperature rises, and when it reaches a certain temperature, it will bloom in the host body,

Then it will quickly hollow out the host's internal organs and spread out along the host's mouth, nostrils and other parts, and finally occupy the host's body and start to breed new seeds.The mature seed of the seed in your hand will bloom and shoot out new seeds immediately after heating. "

Lax threw the lotus in her hand in an instant, her face was extremely pale.

"There's only one person I know who can play this kind of trick." Yunjuan looked at Mel and Jess with terrible expressions and smiled.

"His nickname outside is the Golden Devil. I think Miss Myrdalda must know him."

Mel nodded heavily. Kada Jhin's name may be unfamiliar to Mrs. Piltover, but to the Noxians... it's like thunder!

During the period when Noxus invaded Ionia, the people who killed them the most may not be comparable, but the one who can cast a shadow on the Noxus must be the Golden Demon!

This native Ionian murderer showed his unparalleled artistic talent when facing the Noxus, and carved out beautiful but terrifying artworks one after another with the body of the Noxus.

He only killed 340 or two Noxians, ranging from soldiers to officers and even a general-in terms of losses, they were not more terrible than those gods in Ionia.

But those powerful swordsmen and magicians can at most destroy their bodies, while Jhin destroys their spirits.

People who die tragically at the hands of the Golden Demon are without exception all death images that are extremely miserable. What Jhin pursues is the momentary beauty when the body is destroyed, but the chaos that follows the fireworks at that moment is never in his eyes.

"But having said that, he probably wasn't responsible for your attack this time."

Yunjuan put away these magic traps casually, shrugged at Mel and said,

"His artistic tools are still here, which means that he must have encountered some problems that prevented him from continuing to stretch his artistic cells. Moreover, simple explosions have never been able to satisfy his desire for expression."

In fact, right after the explosion, the entire banquet was forcibly evacuated, and for safety reasons, these congressmen and wealthy businessmen would not be willing to stay for even a second longer.

This evolution day may be the most anticlimactic in recent years, and even the protagonist, Jess, did not fully demonstrate his invention.

As an invention and a great moment that can be recorded in history, it is a bit regrettable to encounter such a situation.

But it doesn't matter anymore, and Jess's mind is no longer on it, just look at Piltover's current troubles——

A lurking super murderer, a townsman ready to move, two big countries who are very likely to start a war in their city, and a mad magician who has just pictured the entire city!
